Question:
He says: If my wife starts menstruating while we are in Makkah, does she have to stay in the hotel for the entire duration of her menstruation, or is there no harm if she stays in the courtyards of al-Masjid al-Haram?
Answer:
She must not enter al-Masjid al-Haram. As for being outside the gates, outside the gates of al-Masjid al-Haram, there is no harm in that. She must not enter through the gates of al-Masjid al-Haram into its interior, unless she intends to pass through only. If she intends to pass through only, there is no harm. Only passersby. As for one who wants to sit while in a state of major ritual impurity or menstruation, it is not permissible for him to sit in the mosque, neither al-Masjid al-Haram nor any other mosque.
